Indoor plumbing has a long history, but it became widely available in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the United States, for example, the first indoor plumbing system was installed in the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia in the early 18th century. However, it was not until the mid-19th century that indoor plumbing became more common in middle-class homes.
One important milestone was the development of cast iron pipes in the 19th century, which made it easier to transport water and waste throughout a building. The introduction of the flush toilet in the mid-19th century also played a significant role in making indoor plumbing more practical and sanitary.
By the early 20th century, indoor plumbing had become a standard feature in most middle-class homes in the United States and other developed countries. However, it was still not widely available in rural areas and poorer urban neighborhoods until much later.
Our tenure in the 2026 National Electrical Code will result in at least a 10 percent reduction in the cost of building premise wiring — (mostly in the feeder power chain) — in healthcare facilities; based on the results of last month’s meeting of Code Making Panel 15.
Assuming electrical power infrastructure is 15 percent of in a $920 million facility like this (excluding interior moveable fixtures), that would have meant an approximate $14 million reduction in cost. That cost savings cannot be realized because it was designed to an earlier version of the National Electrical Code.

Centrifugal paper cleaners are used in the pulp and paper industry to remove unwanted contaminants from pulp or paper stock. These contaminants can include dirt, sand, shives, small fibers, and other impurities that can affect the quality of the final paper product. Centrifugal cleaners work on the principle of centrifugal force and are typically installed in the stock preparation stage of papermaking processes. Here’s how they work:
Inlet: The pulp or paper stock containing contaminants is fed into the centrifugal cleaner through an inlet. The inlet is designed to create a tangential flow of the stock, which imparts a swirling motion to the mixture.
Centrifugal Force: Once inside the cleaner, the stock and contaminants are subjected to centrifugal force due to the rapid rotation of the cleaner’s inner drum or rotor. The centrifugal force causes the heavier contaminants to move toward the outer wall of the cleaner, while the cleaner stock moves toward the center of the drum.
Separation: The contaminants, being heavier, are forced against the outer wall of the cleaner by the centrifugal force, and they accumulate there. The clean stock, which is lighter and free of contaminants, moves toward the center of the cleaner.
Outlet: The cleaned stock exits the cleaner through the center outlet, while the accumulated contaminants are removed from the outer wall. The contaminants can be periodically purged from the cleaner to maintain its efficiency.
Adjustment: Centrifugal cleaners often have adjustable settings to control the separation efficiency. Operators can vary the cleaner’s operating parameters, such as the feed rate, drum speed, and cone angle, to optimize the separation process for different types of contaminants and pulp or paper stocks.
They can operate continuously and provide high efficiency in removing heavy contaminants such as coffee filters. They are often used in conjunction with other cleaning processes, such as screening and flotation, to achieve the desired quality and cleanliness of the pulp or paper stock before it is used in the papermaking process.
